Description

Language of instruction: Spanish and German

Course description:
This course is aimed at students or university members who have previously completed A2 level. Focusing on common topics and everyday conversation situations (e.g. at work, at university, discussions with friends, etc.), this course has the scope of B1 knowledge as its main objective. In elaborating the different areas of vocabulary, various topics from units 11-18 of the corresponding book (see below) will be covered.

Grammatical approach to B1

1.     The use of the simple conditional and the present subjunctive.
2.     Speculating about different constellations in the future or expressing wishes and requests
3.     Different uses of the past indicative (especially the indefinite, imperfect and pluperfect).
4.     Complex uses of (in)direct objects and prepositions
5.     Use of periphrasis for a creative and variable style
6.     Expressing tastes, feelings, preferences, values and giving contrasting opinions
7.     Comparing elements and evaluating them
8.     Impersonal and involuntary forms and describing processes with the passive
9.     Interrogative and indirect sentences
10.     Expanding vocabulary in areas of culture, society, education and economics.

Realisation:
Given the conditions of the COVID-19 pandemic, there will be a separation of face-to-face phases by Webex (always on Mondays) as well as asynchronous at home (regarding homework or portfolio) or by other platforms (Moodle, Kahoot, etc.) if applicable. As it has to comply with 4SWS (4 * 45m = 3 whole hours in total), this course will be set up as follows:

Classes: Mondays, 16.15-19.45 with 3 breaks of 10 minutes (60 hours).

Asynchronous work: during the week at home (60 hours)

Portfolio work: assigned days (30 hours)

Requirements for successful completion
Therefore, continuous participation of the students is required. However, there is no participation control and no oral grades are run throughout the course. It is considered essential to complete the assignments through the portfolio and to be present for marking events (see below "Course Notes").

Evaluation of your merits:
In this course your progress is continuously assessed. The final grade is made up of all elements of the portfolio which has three main elements: written reflective case study assignment (10%), playful group presentation on the basis of the case study (30%) and overall portfolio tasks (60%). To complete your portfolio, you must meet the requirements and demands and hand in the completed portfolio in a timely manner.
